Clinical and Laboratory Predictors of 30-Day Hospital Readmission Risk in Adult Patients with Sickle Cell Disease

Conclusions: These results support that cardiopulmonary comorbidities are unexpectedly common in adult SCD patients. Blood transfusion in younger SCD patient reduced the readmission risk. Renal complications and leukocytosis in these patients contributed to health care utilization. Using advanced predictive models can help us to define patients who are at higher risk of readmission and generate strategies to reduce hospital readmission.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
